Alexis Moyano
A course by Alexis Moyano
Alexis Moyano is an Argentine illustrator, graphic designer, and animator. He has been drawing for as long as he can remember and has always been drawn to the audiovisual world, which eventually led him to animation, the place where both disciplines converge. In his more personal work, he always strives to do something he's passionate about, generally incorporating a humorous tone that teeters between the comical and the absurd.
Throughout his career, he has worked on several different types of projects, including web series, TV shows, commercials, book covers, and infographics. His animation work on social media, however, was what brought him increased visibility. In addition to expanding his audience, it led to work with companies such as Cartoon Network, TNT Sports, Nike, La Nación, Brahma, Fox Sports, Vans, Campari, Penguin Random House, and others.
